I'm in the process of repainting several featherweights. I used the waterslide decals and didn't have any problems. I would sand the decals off and replace them with the waterslide decals. Sorry this happened to you. I guess after we do a few, we'll get better at it. My problem now is getting my clear coat on without getting "overspray" that I have to keep sanding off. Let us know what you decide to do.
